Screeding a bedding layer |
On This Page...

Introduction |
Screeding is a method of constructing a well profiled bedding layer that flags or bricks or any other, regular thickness pavings can be directly laid onto with no further levelling. A screeded bed is typically established approximately 5-10mm high, and the pavings then compacted down to the required level.
For example, when laying 35mm thick flags, the screed level will be established at 27-30mm below finished paving level, leaving the paving 5-8mm high which is then tapped down to the correct level. For 60mm thick block paviors, the bedding layer will be established at 50-53mm below finished paving layer, resulting in the blocks being 7-10mm 'proud' to accommodate final compaction with a vibrating plate compactor. |
It is not possible to state definitive values for how much a given thickness of bedding material will consolidate, as different materials compact to different degrees. Also, total bed thickness affects this 'compaction fraction', as does moisture content and other factors such as grain size, the strength of the laying operative, the weight of the maul, the size of the plate compactor, the type of paving being laid, etc. |
Other Calculators |

Why do we need a laying course?The laying course is a logical consequence of the 3,000+ year old principal of using progressively finer (ie:smaller) grain sizes as the upper surface of a pavement is reached. This gives structural integrity, which means a stronger, more interlocked, better performing pavement. This principal can be seen at play in almost every type of pavement construction, be it macadam, flags or resins.However, for block paving, the smaller grain size of the laying course allows us to create a more accurate profile and so the final level of the blocks is more true. It's easier to achieve a ±3mm tolerance using a gritty sand with particles of 4mm or less than it would be using a relatively chunky crushed stone with particles up to 30mm or larger. With the best will in the world, and even with years of experience, it's damned near impossible to achieve a tolerance of ±3mm using sub-base material in a reasonable time period, whereas it can be done in minutes using sand or grit. |
Which is easiest to level: grit sand..... |
....or crushed rock? |
There are other benefits to using an unbound (cement-free) laying course beneath modular paving: it aids drainage by allowing water reasonably unimpeded passage to the sub-layers, and it provides essential cushioning for the paving units. In particular, it's very good at accommodating the minor variations in block and flag depth that can occur with even the very best manufacturing techniques. | |
However, getting the right thickness is critical. There's a 'Goldilocks Zone': too much can lead to rutting, channelisation or unwanted movement, mainly because the smaller particles are more likely to behave like a fluid when saturated and under load, while anything less than 25mm runs the risk of not providing adequate cushioning and being awkward to prepare. |
Variation in block depth |
Years of research all over the world have refined the recommended thickness for an unbound laying course. The spec used to be 35-50mm but it's since been realised that there is less risk of rutting and other problems using a slightly shallower bed, so now the official spec is 25-40mm. |
PrinciplesBS 7533 Part 3 (2005 Ed.) describes two alternative methods of preparing a screeded laying course:
Pre-compactedThis is our preferred method, the one we have found to give fewest problems with settlement, and the easiest to undertake on site. The laying course material is spread in one layer, lightly compacted with only one or (at most) two passes of the vibrating plate, then screeded to a level that allows for final compaction of the paving units down to finished level. This process is described in more detail below. |
UncompactedThe laying course material is spread and screeded to a level. The thickness of the bed, and therefore the level of the screeded surface, is determined (usually by extensive and time-consuming trial and error) to give the correct bed thickness once the blocks have been laid and the whole lot compacted. |
Just why anyone would use this method is beyond us. It is a bloody nightmare! It rarely, if ever, gives a good finish; it takes at least an hour to determine just what thickness of uncompacted sand is needed to give a bed of regular thickness; it cannot compensate for deviations in the level of the base or sub-base; the sand, as mentioned in the description of the partial compaction method above, varies from place to place. | |
The only occasions when an uncompacted laying course has been successful is when it is laid by a paver machine over an accurately profiled sub-base or base, as happens with some machine-laid installations. Because the laying course material is evenly distributed by the machine, over an accurate sub-base (or base) and is not trafficked by operatives during its placement and screeding, a reasonably accurate bed is achieved. On manually prepared beds, the risk of creating differential compaction due to uneven distribution, or the material being walked over by operatives is too great, and therefore we cannot recommend this method of laying course preparation for hand-laid paving. |
Partially compactedIn earlier editions of BS7533:3, a third method of screed preparation was described but has been dropped from the latest (2005 and 2009 +A1 ed.) editions because it is so bloody unreliable. However, a number of contractors (who really ought to know better) still use this method, so it is described below for reasons of completeness. Anyone using this method is most strongly advised to update their knowledge and switch to the much more reliable 'pre-compacted' method described above.The laying course material is spread and levelled to the required depth below the finished paving level, and compacted. A further 15mm or so of loose laying course material is then spread over the first layer, and screeded to level. The paving units are laid directly onto this uncompacted layer. |
The major drawback with this method is that the laying gang have to work the area twice: once for the compacted layer and once for the loose layer, whereas the pre-compacted method enables a bed to be prepared in one. | |
Also, we find that the loose layer compacts differently, depending on moisture content and grain density. One patch at 15mm thick may compact to, say, 9mm, but an adjacent patch that may be slightly damper, or more compact, will consolidate to, say, 12mm thick. |
The Preferred Method - Pre-compactionIf an edge course is being used, this should be constructed to the correct levels prior to the screeding operation. The edge course can then be used to help establish a screed level. However, on larger areas, parts of the screeded bed can be some distance from the nearest edging, and so 'Trammel Bars' or 'Screed Rails' are used to ensure the bed is established at the correct level.To construct a screeded laying course, the bedding material should be spread quite generously over the area to be screeded, and evened out with a shovel or a rake so that it is 30-50mm higher than the level required. |
Sand is placed on top of prepared sub-base |
Sand is levelled out using shovels, rakes and lutes |
This material is then lightly compacted by one or two passes with a vibrating plate compactor, or stamped down with the feet. A thoroughly compacted bedding layer is not required at this stage, as there needs to be some 'give' in this bedding layer, to allow final compaction of the paving to the correct level. | |
Sand ready for light compaction |
Just a single pass will be adequate compaction at this stage |
The final stage is the actual screeding process itself, which involves dragging a screed board over the partially-compacted laying course material and 'scraping-off' the top layer to create a smooth, profiled laying surface at just the right depth to accommodate the paving.
Although the photograph opposite shows two operatives drawing the screeder board, it is not uncommon for there to be just one man, with an assistant removing excess material that collects at the rear of the board. While one man can successfully draw a screeder board of up to around 2 metres, any screeder board longer than around 1.8 metres will be much easier to draw if two operatives are used, one at each end, working in tandem. |
The laying course is reduced to level by screeding |
A five man team working on a large driveway. From L to R - one man rakes out the sand to a rough level while a second uses the vibrating plate to compact. Two men draw the screeder board over the screed rails, scraping off the excess and reducing the sand to the required level, while a fifth man works with a shovel to remove excess sand as it builds up in front of the screeder board. |
The Tools... for contractors |
Contractors are required to prepare screeded laying courses more or less every day, and so they tend to rely on specialist screeding aids which would probably be beyond the budget of most diy'ers, as they are not a tool they are likely to use time and time again.
Probst Handling Ltd. provide an unrivalled range of high-quality screeding tools, including the EP System, which comes in a range of sizes from 700mm wide for "touching-up" jobs and smaller areas, up to the 2500mm wide model shown opposite which is designed for larger areas. |
These tools are specifically designed for manual screeding, and can be adjusted to ride on top of screed rails, as shown above, or along the top surface of a kerb, edging or soldier course, as shown opposite, so one tool can be used in almost every situation.
They benefit from carefully considered features, such as the cross-shaped handle that makes dragging the tool that much easier, and they are operated from an upright position, thereby eliminating one of the curses of the trade, Screeder's Knee, a dull ache in the joint brought on by extended kneeling in damp sand. |
Hinged or jointed screeding bars, as shown on the right, are a handy piece of kit for those gangs undertaking a lot of cambered or dished work. The centre joint can be set to a variety of angles to accommodate raised profiles (roof-section or cambered), or dished (pan-section) profiles as the job warrants.
While such a tool is ideal for constant width pavements, it is sometimes quicker to use a standard straight screeding tool with screed rails to create more complex cambers and dishes. |
For larger jobs, a machine-mounted screeding bar or bucket, such as that on the left, is often preferred, as it allows one operator to prepare a considerable area in a relatively short time, increasing productivity of the laying gang. They also tend to be significantly bigger than the manually operated versions, up to 7 metres in length. However, such a system needs to have the room to manoeuvre or they can be more trouble than they are worth. They are better suited to car parks, commercial yards and freight-handling areas, rather than residential driveways.
Again, some time needs to be spent establishing trammel bars or edgings to guide the screed board, and there will probably be some sections that will still require manual screeding or titivating with a bull-float, but these systems do provide a valuable service on large pavements. |
... for smaller jobs and diy |
The purpose-designed screeders are all well and good for us professionals, but for most DIY projects or smaller jobs, a straight-edged length of timber is easier to manipulate, and much more cost-effective. 100x19mm is a good sized board to work with, and the timber should not be more than 3m in length, as longer lengths can be hard to drag, single-handed, and are more prone to bending and sagging, leading to incorrect level formation. |
Establishing screed depth - see table opposite It should be noted that the values given in Table 1 opposite assume a laying course thickness (ie, depth of sand) of between 25 mm and 40mm. You may find your sand gives slightly different results. Trial and error is the only way to establish an accurate value for each project. |
Table 1 |
Establishing screed rails/trammel barsWhere there is no kerb, edging or soldier course from which to work, a screed rail or trammel bar should be established in the bedding material at the required level as described below. See the table above for details on recommended screeding levels for various thicknesses of paving. |
Square section screed rail in position during laying process |
A screed rail is a long, straight rod or length of timber, usually 3 to 4.5 metres in length.Some types can be interlocked to create longer runs, but for most contractors, simply abutting or overlapping adjacent rails is adequate.
All kinds of items are used as screed rails or trammel bars; 20mm diameter steel conduit is probably the most popular choice, as it's robust, re-usable and cheap, but aluminium I-beams or box section, roadform sections, or lengths of 75x50mm timber are all regularly used by contractors throughout the land. As long as the chosen 'rail' is convenient, fairly smooth, and, most importantly, absolutely straight, almost anything can be used. |
The screed rail is established within the bedding layer and set in such a way that its top surface is at the level required for the surface of the screeded bed. Some rails are simply bedded into the laying course material, while others may be set atop bricks or other padstones, or carried on steel pins. The most important factor is that, once established, the rail should not move, settle or sag when the screed board is dragged over it, yet must be capable of being removed prior to laying of the paving course. | |
The level of the screed rail is determined by the compactibility of the laying course material and the thickness of the chosen paving. Table 1 above gives some average values for a typical zone 2 sand bed at 35mm thickness, but other sands or other bed thicknesses may yield different results.
Only on-site trials can determine the actual compaction values for each project, and therefore this must be determined before a screeded bedding layer can be prepared. This is normally achieved by constructing a small area of paving, relying on experience to 'guesstimate' the screeded bed level, and then checking that final compaction of the paved surface hammers down the paving units to the desired level. If the paving units refuse to settle down to the required level, or finish up lower than the required level, the screeded bed level must be adjusted up or down accordingly. Remember that for most segmental paving, such as blocks or flags, the finished paving level should be within ± 3mm of the desired level, so there is some leeway. |
The level of the screeded bed has been determined and therefore the screed rails can now be established. These are typically positioned in such a way that the screed board will span from rail to rail or edging to rail, with some overlap, usually 100-300mm, and are always aligned in the direction in which the screeding action will take place. | |
Once the rails are in position and aligned, their level is set by checking against a taut string line stretched between two known level points, by using boning rods, or by means of an automatic level. It is essential that the rails are firmly established - should they move after establishment, the whole screeded bed could be at an incorrect level which in turn, could result in the finished pavement needing to be re-laid. |
Cambers and dishesNote that it is possible to create cambered or dished profiles with the aid of screed rails. By establishing the rails above or below the intermediate level determined by stretching a taut string line between to known points, as illustrated above, a camber or dish of known proportions can be created. On larger pavements, a series of rails can be established to create a dish or camber with a span of 10 metres or more.For cambered profiles, the screed rail is often established at an apex which is subsequently smoothed off by screeding with a shorter screeder board or a bull float. In some instances, a pair of rails is used, as illustrated opposite. Dished profiles are constructed using a similar process where the rounded dish profile is created by manually re-screeding with a short, straight screed board or bull-float, although some contractors use a specially shaped screeder board to create the dish. |
The screeding processOnce any necessary screed rails are positioned, the screeding itself can be done. The screeder board is dragged in one direction, making sure the bottom edge of the notches, or the bottom edges of the screeder board itself are kept in contact with the top of the rail or edging at all times.Short screeder boards can usually be managed by a single operative, but larger boards are best used by two operatives, one at each end (durrr!). Often, a gentle transverse (side-to-side) sawing motion of the screeder board will help its accurate passage through the bedding layer material, scraping off the excess sand as it moves along. Should the weight of scraped-off bedding material in front of the screeder board become excessive, it can be carefully removed with a trowel or spade and moved out of the working area, thereby reducing the 'weight' at the front of the board to a manageable amount. When removing surplus sand, care needs to be taken in order not to disturb the compacted material beneath the screeder,. And the Golden Rule of preparing a screed: DO NOT traffic the area that has been screeded, not even to just walk across it to get a trowel. This can cause differential compaction, and problems with finished paving levels. |
Final titivatingWith straightforward screeded bedding layers, once the screed has been prepared, the paving can be laid, but with most projects, some 'tidying-up' work or 'titivating' is necessary to complete the preparation. |
When a kerb or edge course has been used to guide a screeder board, there is often a surplus of bedding material alongside the edge blocks. This can be re-screeded with a short screeder board or simply removed with a bull-float or trowel. The same is true for 'obstructions' within a screeded area, such as manholes, gullies, lighting columns, bollards etc. If possible, it's best to undertake this titivation as the screeding progresses, to avoid having to walk across the screeded bedding layer once complete. |
However, there is one item of titivation that can often only be carried out by walking onto the screeded area - removal of the screed rails and filling-in of the hollow left behind. In practice, this is done with minimal disturbance to the screeded bed, by carefully lifting out the rails and moving them out of the working area, and then walking, one foot in front of the other, in the track of the removed rails to infill with bedding material, compact it underfoot, and then screed out with a short screeder board or bull-float, working backwards out of the screeded area. | |
The final bit of titivating is to visually check the screed. This may involve lying flat on the ground, getting the eye as close to screed level as is possible and checking for high-spots and hollows. Any defects in the screeded laying course should be corrected at this stage, before they impinge upon the pavement itself. Some of the long-handled screeder boards allow lumps and bumps to be rectified without stepping onto the screeded area, but in other areas, there may be no viable alternative other than to send an operative onto the screeded bed to rectify a defect. In such cases, the operative should endeavour to make a single track onto and out of the screeded area. Once the necessary rectification is complete, the operative should work backwards, retreating off the screeded bed, levelling out footprints and other disturbance in their wake.
Once an area is prepared in this way, the pavers or flags can be laid directly onto the screeded bed. Work should always be carried out from the paved area, not from the screeded bed, with tools and materials moved along as work progresses. |

ST. MARYS — The city of St. Marys will have a familiar face serving as its interim safety-service director.
St. Marys Mayor Pat McGowan told The Evening Leader Eric Ostling is no longer the safety-service director for the city, effective immediately. St. Marys Police Chief Greg Foxhoven will serve as interim safety-service director. Ostling was hired in October to succeed Jason Little, who was hired in March but announced his resignation in August.
ST. MARYS — St. Marys resident Barb Lutz surpassed the 2,000 workout mark at the local Curves, where she has been going for the past 11 years.
"I started out of curiosity to begin with," Lutz said. "I had a free pass to try it out for two weeks, and I asked my best friend and she and I came out, and we never quit."
Lutz and her friend work out at Curves at 6:30 a.m. every weekday. The Curves program is not like a typical gym, where there are weight machines and members are on their own to pick and choose what to do.

why do games these days have to be so expensive ?
ya,somewhere in that ballpark.im tryin to get the one for the ds.playing as any organization 13 member would b awsome.coded sux though.its for the cell and is some stupid mini game thing where u kill viruses.it has the same story as megaman battle network but with stupid gameplay.dont bother getting it on your phone.
games are expencive because once you get the console you have to buy the games.the better ones are more expensive then the ones that suck.heck halo is still 60 bucks and its been out how long?
About a year, Halo is a good game though, almost everyone wants it.
thats true. i remember when the new one first came out, my bro. in law waited in line for i don't know how many hours, to get one of the first copies in toronto. he got the halo helmet and shirt as a result.
I have a halo helmet, i wear it when i play Halo online to talk to other people.
really? thats kinda funny. i can imagine that .

The proportional nature of quota creates natural incentives to work collectively with other quota owners to ensure that the objectives and benefits of the quota system are managed in the most efficient manner. Sanford is an active member of relevant collective quota owning organisations. All of these companies, and others, are shareholders in the generic industry body NZ Seafood Industry Council Ltd. This company undertakes generic work for industry such as government liaison, quality standards, training, information services and quota registry services on behalf of the industry. Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources Coalition of Legal Toothfish Operators
Some examples of these are:
International Responsibilities
Sanford Limited also has responsibilities to international stakeholders, and nowhere is this more apparent than in our activities in the southern oceans around Antarctica, and in the waters of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean.
Sanford Limited undertakes exploratory fishing for Antarctic Toothfish in the southern oceans around Antarctica, under a licence granted by the New Zealand Government and consistent with the Conservation Measures approved by the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). CCAMLR came into force in 1982, as part of the Antarctic Treaty System. We take our responsibilities for research and seabird mitigation very seriously, as required by CCAMLR. Indeed, we are proud of our record in seabird mitigation - not once in the six years we have been undertaking exploratory fishing under a CCAMLR licence has Sanford caught a single seabird, a record that we fully intend to maintain. Website www.ccamlr.org
Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing for Toothfish in the waters around Antarctica (while never recorded in the Ross Sea) is recognised by Sanford and other responsible fishing companies as a significant problem. Sanford Limited complies with all reporting requirements of CCAMLR, the New Zealand Government and other international bodies, and is able to provide full documentation for its total catch of toothfish. In addition, Sanford Limited is a founding member of the Coalition of Legal Toothfish Operators, an organisation established to help authorities reduce the incidence of illegal, unregulated or unreported fishing of Toothfish.

Western & Central Pacific Fisheries Commission
New Zealand is a signatory to the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean which, after 4 years of negotiations was opened for signature on 5 September 2000 and came into force on 19 June 2004. The objective of the Convention is to ensure, through effective management, the long-term conservation and sustainable use of highly migratory species within the Convention Area (see map of Convention Area below).
Sanford Limited actively participated as part of the New Zealand Government delegation to the Preparatory Conferences for the Establishment of the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western & Central Pacific Ocean, which ran from April 2001 until December 2004 when the new Commission was established. The new Western & Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) meets annually and Sanford has continued its involvement through its participation in the delegation of the New Zealand Government which is a member of the Commission.
The Company operates its purse seine vessels in the Western & Central Pacific Ocean fishing for tuna species under the authority of high seas fishing permits issued by the New Zealand Government and licences from various Pacific Island Countries, with whom Sanford Limited has negotiated bi-lateral fishing agreements, that are consistent with the Conservation & Management Measures that are established by the WCPFC.

Small cabins aboard boats must be ventilated adequately and be connected to the outside air on a permanent basis, especially when the temperature drops, so as to keep the air humidity inside and outside as equal as possible. This in order to prevent condensation and its devastating effects. The UFO and UFO TRANS models are made of stainless steel and they cannot be closed, so that they will ensure permanent ventilation. The TRANS version is also translucent. These ventilators are rain and splash proof and the outside is high-gloss polished. They may also be used in combination with our electric extraction ventilators. They come complete with a mosquito screen and an interior finishing ring as standard. This deck ventilator type UFO 2, can now be closed altogether and made absolutely watertight when at sea or when power washing the boat. However, when opened, the UFO 2 ensures constant ventilation whilst still remaining rain and splash proof. The cover is made from high-gloss polished stainless steel (AISI 316). The mushroom ventilator is also stainless steel and provided with an integral mosquito screen. A synthetic finishing ring is supplied as standard. |

Shore Line East (SLE) is a commuter rail service which operates along the Northeast Corridor through southern Connecticut, USA. A fully owned subsidiary of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT), SLE provides service seven days a week along the Northeast Corridor from New London west to New Haven, with limited through service to Bridgeport and Stamford. Connecting service west of New Haven to New York City is available via Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line.
The service was introduced in 1990 as a temporary measure to reduce congestion during construction work on I-95. However, it proved more popular than expected, and service was continued after construction ended despite criticisms that the line was too expensive to operate. The service has been continually upgraded since its inception with rebuilt stations and new rolling stock as well as extensions to New London in 1996 and to Stamford in 2001. Current weekday ridership is around 2400 riders.[1]
Current service[edit]
Most weekday SLE trains run local westbound from New London or Old Saybrook to New Haven in the morning, with some nonstop eastbound service. This traffic pattern is reversed in the afternoon and evening rush. A handful operate through New Haven as far as Stamford.
Most weekend SLE trains also run local westbound in the morning, then express in the afternoon, stopping only at Guilford between Old Saybrook and State Street. Eastbound service is reversed. This is due to the fact that Branford, Madison, Clinton, and Westbrook only have platforms on the eastbound track, and thus switching is needed to platform a westbound train.
Around half of SLE trains operate to and from New London Station. New London SLE multi-ride pass holders are also allowed to board selected Northeast Regional trains, or Acela Express train #2151. There are plans to increase the service to New London, which is limited by U.S. Coast Guard requirements regarding the bridge crossing the Connecticut River. After years with just one or two trains to New London, additional New London round trips were added in 2010 and 2013, and weekend service began in June 2013.[2][3]
All trains that do not operate west of New Haven make a connection to a Metro-North Railroad train at New Haven, for service to and from points in Connecticut, Westchester County, New York, and New York City.
Although SLE service is funded by ConnDOT, it is operated under contract by Amtrak. Amtrak owns and dispatches the Northeast Corridor east of New Haven. West of New Haven, the New Haven Line is owned by ConnDOT and dispatched by Metro-North.
During the OpSail and SailFest tall ship festivals at New London, extra Friday and weekend Shore Line East service is operated from New Haven to New London.[4] During OpSail 2000, through service operated from New Haven to Mystic - the only time Shore Line East service has run east of New London.[5]
Service history[edit]
Previous service[edit]
The section of the Northeast Corridor that Shore Line East operates on was once the New York-Boston mainline of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The section from New Haven to New London was built as the New Haven & New London Railroad. It was charted in 1848, began construction in 1850, and opened for service in July 1852.[6] The line was owned by the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad (the "Stonington Road") from 1858 to 1862, and by the Shore Line Railway from 1864 until it was acquired by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad (the "New Haven") in 1870. Crossing the Connecticut River required a ferry transfer until a drawbridge was built in 1870[6] The line was referred to by the New Haven Railroad as the Shore Line, to distinguish it from the railroad's Main Line from New Haven to Springfield, Massachusetts. In recognition of the large role played by the New Haven in the history and heritage of the state of Connecticut, ConnDOT paints SLE's diesel-powered locomotives in the New Haven's orange and black style. New Haven Railroad colors and emblems have also been placed at several stations, particularly New Haven Union Station.
The New Haven Railroad operated local service on the Shore Line up until its merger with Penn Central on January 1, 1969, when commuter service east of New Haven was abandoned. Intercity service continued, but generally only stopped at New Haven, Old Saybrook, and New London. In 1976, Amtrak brought the service back with the Clamdigger, a local service running between New Haven and Providence. It was briefly replaced by the Beacon Hill, which stopped at New Haven, Branford, Madison, Old Saybrook, Niantic, New London, and Mystic en route to Providence and Boston. The Beacon Hill was discontinued in 1981 due to funding cuts, ending commuter service in Connecticut east of New Haven.
Initial service[edit]
In 1981 and 1986, legislation was proposed to restore commuter service between New Haven and New London, as well as between New Haven and Hartford. A 1986 ConnDOT study analyzed congestion on Interstate 95, which runs parallel to the line. The study showed that Old Saybrook was a better terminus for initial service, with an expected ridership of 420 riders in each direction daily.[7]
Based on the study, Governor O'Neill ordered ConnDOT in October 1986 to initiate rail service on the corridor. It was established as a temporary service to newly reopened local stations between Union Station in New Haven and Old Saybrook, to alleviate traffic congestion that arose from scheduled construction work on I-95. O'Neill introduced a $50 million transportation program that included $900,000 (later reduced to $500,000) for basic stations and $4 million to refurbish 12 Budd Rail Diesel Cars for rolling stock. The RDCs were found to be insufficient and two diesel trainsets were purchased from the defunct PATrain service in 1989 instead.[7]
A second study in 1989 indicated higher potential ridership of 700 to 1350 daily riders. The state bought Amtrak's New Haven maintenance facility in May 1989 and signed a service contract with Amtrak in November. (Metro-North Railroad was not considered for several reasons, largely because Amtrak already owned the rail line east of New Haven). Construction of 5 intermediate stations was completed in April 1990.[7]
Shore Line East service began on May 29, 1990, with four trains each direction during the morning and evening. The service carried the Clamdigger name during planning; "Shore Line East" did not appear until shortly before service began. Shore Line East was threatened to be cut in 1991 by newly elected Governor Lowell Weicker, but it proved more popular than expected, and was effectively made permanent. A 1996 study found that Shore Line East captured 8% of regional commuter trips and attracted a loyal ridership base.[7]
In 1995 and 1997, then Gov. John Rowland proposed to replace Shore Line East and the Waterbury Branch with bus service, citing a high subsidy of $18.70 per rider per trip, in order to decrease the unpopular gas tax.[8] Lawmakers from the region called the proposals political and defended the line's ability to reduce congestion and pollution, while opponents of the line called it an example of government waste.[9] The Shore Line East Rider's Association and other groups lobbied to save both services each time, and after public hearings a small fare increase was enacted in late 1997 instead.[10]
Early expansions and criticisms[edit]
In July 1995, Governor Rowland signed a bill ordering various studies, including one that analyzed extending service to New London as had been originally planned.[11] Before the study was completed, ConnDOT unilaterally decided to implement New London service, which the report commended.[7] In February 1996, two round trips per weekday were extended to New London. At that point, ridership was up 18% over 1991 numbers.[12]
In January 2001, due to changes in Amtrak rules, passengers were no longer allowed to cross tracks to access trains. New platforms were opened on the south side of the tracks at Branford and Westbrook at approximately the same locations.[13]
In December 2001, a single morning rush-hour round trip branded SLExpress was extended to Stamford, with a stop at Bridgeport plus eastbound-only stops at Stratford and Milford. An evening eastbound trip was also extended to Stamford with only the Bridgeport intermediate stop.[14] This trip was intended to allow commuters to access employment centers in Bridgeport and Stamford without having to make a transfer at New Haven. On June 24, 2002, additional Stamford trains were added, for a total of two westbound and three eastbound trains.[15] When West Haven opened in August 2013, it was added to these trips as well.
In 2003, in order to add four additional Amtrak trips along the corridor, four of the then six round trips to New London were cut back to Old Saybrook. An agreement with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection limits service over the Old Saybrook-Old Lyme bridge in order to avoid inconveniencing recreational boaters. ConnDOT's agreement with Amtrak allowed commuters with monthly passes to ride certain Amtrak trains instead.[16] After criticism over the service cuts, ConnDOT began allowing commuters with multi-ride passes to board the selected Amtrak trains as well.
Improved and increased service[edit]
When started in 1990, Shore Line East was intended to be a temporary service. Except at Old Saybrook and New Haven, which were already served by Amtrak, the state constructed new stations - consisting of little more than bare wooden decks - for minimal cost. Since the service was started two months before the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed, the platforms were not built to be handicapped accessible. After a decade of service, with Shore Line East established as part of Connecticut's transportation system, the state began to upgrade the service. The basic stations have been rebuilt with high-level platforms to provide handicapped access and level boarding, parking lots have been expanded, and more trains have been added to the schedule.
A completely new station was also added to the line for traffic mitigation as part of the reconstruction of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge. On June 7, 2002, State Street Station was opened in New Haven to provide better access to the downtown area than Union Station, which is half a mile away from the business district.[17]
The first station to be rebuilt was Old Saybrook, the busy eastern terminus of the line. The new high-level island platform and pedestrian bridge opened on November 1, 2002.[18] Old Saybrook had previous had only a single side platform serving a relatively small number of Amtrak trains; the rebuilt has two platforms serving three tracks, to allow Amtrak trains in both directions to stop or pass even while a SLE train is at the station.
Beginning on May 24, 2004, construction of new platforms began at Clinton, Guilford, and Branford.[19] The rebuilt Clinton station opened on July 25, 2005, and the rebuilt Branford station opened on August 8, 2005; both consist of a single high-level platform on the south side of the tracks. The new Guilford station, which has platforms on both sides of the tracks (connected by a pedestrian bridge) to allow for greater operational flexibility, opened on November 28, 2005.[20] Construction at Madison started on September 24, 2007, and finished with the opening of the rebuilt station platform on July 28, 2008.[21]
On October 8, 2007, reverse-peak and more midday service were introduced, which officials hailed as the beginning of Shore Line East as a true bidirectional system. Several existing express trains also began to stop at Guilford.[22] Since at least 2006, advocates had been calling for the establishment of weekend Shore Line East service.[23] A pilot of weekend service was run from November 17, 2007, to December 30, 2007, with six "Shopper's Special" round trips from Old Saybrook to New Haven. The trains were scheduled to connect with similar Metro-North specials at New Haven.[24] Year-round weekend service began on July 4, 2008, with 9 daily Old Saybrook - New Haven round trips on weekends. No weekend service was run to New London, but weekday service was increased as cross-honoring of multiple-ride and monthly tickets was added on two Amtrak trains.[25]
The major obstacle preventing full New London service is the bridge over the Connecticut River between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme. The drawbridge section is closed for a certain period of time to allow trains to pass, which prevents large boats from passing under. The Marine Trades Association opposes additional service, which would mandate more bridge closings. The 2003 agreement with Amtrak limited weekday traffic over the bridge to 2 SLE and 39 Amtrak trains until 2018, although it was revised in 2010 and 2013.[26] Since 2003, New London had been served by cross-honored Amtrak trains plus one or two dedicated SLE roundtrips.
On February 16, 2010, an additional round trip was extended to New London.[2] Three more were extended on May 10, 2010.[3] However, advocates for full service to New London said that Governor Rell failed to deliver on promises to New London, with one newspaper columnist writing that "she seems incapable of standing up to the marine trades lobby" regarding the bridge openings.[27]
In July 2012, Governor Malloy announced that 5 weekend round trips would be extended to New London beginning in April 2013. However, the extension was dependent on ongoing negotiations with the marine industry over mandated closings of the Old Saybrook - Old Lyme bridge.[28] Two weekday midday trips were added in May 2013, while weekend service began on June 1, 2013, after the application for additional bridge closings was approved by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.[29] By July, New London represented 26% of weekend ridership.[30] In December 2013, the state announced that ridership was up 35% for the year as a result of the increased service.[31] From 2009 to 2014, monthly New London ridership increased from less than 1,000 monthly passengers to approximately 5,000, accounting for a significant fraction of ridership increases on Shore Line East during that period.[32]
Four of the five intermediate stations between Old Saybrook and New Haven were rebuilt with accessible platforms between 2004 and 2008, but rebuilding at Westbrook was delayed due to environmental and cost issues.[33] No site was available until Westbrook and ConnDOT traded the new station site on Norris Avenue for a highway garage site off Route 145. The controversial land swap was begun in 2004 but was not finalized until 2006, and town operations were not moved to the Route 145 site until September 2011.[34] Site clearing began in November 2011, and ground was broken for the $14.4 million station in January 2012.[33][34] A new station with a larger 210-space lot and platforms on both tracks opened on March 25, 2014, with full bidirectional service to the station beginning on May 11th.[35][36]
In a 2007 report, ConnDOT outlined plans to turn SLE into a full-service bidirectional regional rail line, with full-day service and all trains extended to New London.[26] This involves incremental improvements, similar to those that have already been put into place. One of the first priorities is to add a second platform at all stations, which is mandated by the 2003 agreement with Amtrak.[26] New London, Old Saybrook, Guilford, Westbrook, and stops from New Haven Union Station west all have multiple platforms, while State Street has an island platform serving two tracks with plans for a second platform.
Branford is planned to be the first rebuilt station to be further renovated with a second platform. A $60 million bond in February 2011 included $16.5 million for a second platform and pedestrian bridge at Branford, $7.3 million for platform extensions at Guilford, and $11 million to add catenary wires to currently unwired sidings along the line. Construction on the new platform at Branford began in September 2013, and the Guilford work is under way as well.[37][38] Bidding on a second platform and three-level parking garage at Madison, planned since 2009, was scheduled to begin in 2013 but did not occur.[21][39] Per the agreement with Amtrak, a second platform is planned to be added to Clinton station. The project was originally planned to start in early 2012, but has since been indefinitely delayed.[40][41]
Expansion of the original parking facilities is also necessary to meet demand at many stations, since many started with small lots suitable for just a few dozen cars. The rebuilt stations at Branford, Guilford, Madison, Clinton, and Westbrook have larger lots than the 1990 stations, and a second lot with 272 spaces opened at Branford in June 2011.[42] A 585-space, three-level parking garage is eventually planned for Madison station.[21]
Although the route east of New Haven is electrified under Amtrak's 60 Hz traction power system, Shore Line East currently operates entirely with diesel locomotives. Once the full order of M8 railcars are in service, ConnDOT plans to use 24 to 32 cars for electric SLE service to reduce diesel emissions. The diesel trainsets will be moved to service on the Danbury or Waterbury branches, or to the planned New Haven – Hartford – Springfield commuter rail line.[26][43]
In April 2012, state officials released a report detailing possible sites for an infill station in East Lyme. Four sites were analyzed - two near downtown Niantic and two at Rocky Neck State Park.[44] Niantic had previously been a stop on the Clamdigger.
The possibility of extending service eastward as also been considered. Several special trains operated to Mystic during the 2000 OpSail festival, the only such service to date.[4] In a 2001 report examining commuter rail for Rhode Island, RIDOT considered an extension of Shore Line East to Providence via Westerly (effectively restoring the Clamdigger service) .[45] Ultimately MBTA service, which already ran to Providence, was extended instead. However, both RIDOT and SLE have long-term plans to extend their services to meet at Westerly. Extending SLE service would require negotiations with the US Coast Guard, the Marine Trades Association, and other stakeholders for increased use of the Thames River Bridge and the Mystic River bridge.[26]
Rolling stock[edit]

In contrast to the electric multiple units used on Metro-North's New Haven Line, which are also purchased in part by the state of Connecticut, all SLE trains are diesel push-pull trains.
SLE runs diesel service because Amtrak had not yet electrified the Northeast Corridor between New Haven and Boston at the time service began. The original SLE service operated with 2 F-7s and 10 Pullman-Standard coaches purchased from Pittsburgh's PATrain.[46] The cab cars were refitted with head-end power generators, as the locomotives did not have this feature since the train had been steam-heated while operating in Pittsburgh. These cars were retired not long after service began, as SLE was intended to be temporary itself.
In 1991, ConnDOT purchased 12 Bombardier Shoreliner III coaches, similar to ones already used on the Danbury Branch and Waterbury Branch and leased GP-38s and one GP-7W from Guilford Transportation Industries.[citation needed] In 1994 Amtrak rebuilt 11 of ConnDOT's surplus SPV-2000 diesel railcars into coaches, dubbed Constitution Liners.[47][48] In 1996, SLE took delivery of six GP40-2H diesels to replace the entire motive power fleet. These were later supplemented with GE P40DC Genesis diesels which were rented then bought from Amtrak. By 2008, the Shoreliner coaches were moved to Metro-North and the Constitution Liners were retired.[citation needed]
ConnDOT plans call for the Kawasaki M8 to replace the locomotives and coaches currently in service on Shore Line East. ConnDOT has proposed to use up to 32 M8's in SLE service, and to then use the diesel equipment elsewhere in the state.[26]

Burns Canine Alert 7.5kg VAT Free
Product Code: 8991
Burns Canine Alert (VAT Free) is a food for working dogs but with a difference. Foods for working dogs are traditionally formulated using high levels of fat and protein to meet the energy demands of heavy physical activity. For many, if not most working dogs, work requires mental alterness and low or moderate physical activity; they must also be calm, well-behaved and attentive. This applies to dogs who assist people with sight or hearing disabilities and PAT dogs. Even police or military service dogs, farm or sporting dogs have prolonged periods of reduced physical activity punctuated by short episodes of vigorous activity. Burns Canine Alert is formulated to meet these demands. Protein and fat levels are controlled. This promotes excellent health, both physical and mental. Levels of antioxidants and omega 3 fats are increased. This helps to neutralise free radicals which can inhibit brain function. This food is an all-natural product, free from chemical additives. Contains high quality ingredients, is gluten-free and hypo-allergenic. Highly digestible and suitable for sensitive dogs. 7.5kg bag. VAT free.

I have two border collies one of which is a really poor eater this is the case no longer She will normally eat a new dry food for a couple of days then refuse it so feeding has been a challenge
Burns was recommended to us at the dog training class I admit after two years of fussy eating I was not hopefully but have been proved wrong They both love this food even after just over two weeks It is a great size biscuit for them so fingers crossed we have a new food for them which is fuss free for me

Elizabeth Gray Vining
Elizabeth Gray Vining | |
Crown Prince Akihito and Elizabeth Gray Vining
Born | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
6 October 1902
Died | 27 November 1999 | (aged 97)
Alma mater | Bryn Mawr College Drexel University |
Occupation | Writer, librarian |
Known for | Teacher of Emperor Akihito |
Spouse(s) | Morgan Fisher Vining |
Awards | Order of the Sacred Treasure Newbery Award |
Elizabeth Janet Gray Vining (1902 – 1999), was an American professional librarian and author who tutored Emperor Akihito of Japan in English while he was crown prince. She was also a noted author whose children's book, Adam of the Road, received the Newbery Award in 1943.
Early life and education[edit]
Elizabeth Janet Gray, also known as Elizabeth Gray Vining, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 6, 1902. She was a graduate of Germantown Friends School and received an AB from Bryn Mawr College in 1923. In 1926, she earned an MS in library science from the Drexel Institute, and became a librarian at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1]:1000 She married Morgan Fisher Vining, associate director of the Extension Division of UNC, in 1929. The marriage ended in 1933 when her husband was killed in a New York City automobile accident, in which Vining was severely injured. During her convalescence, she converted to the Quaker faith.
Vining soon became known as an author, primarily of children's books, and was awarded the 1943 Newbery Medal for Adam of the Road.[2] She had published eleven books by the end of World War II.
With the Imperial Household[edit]
From 1946 to 1950 during the Allied occupation of Japan after the war, Vining was selected by Emperor Hirohito himself (and not the United States government, as is erroneously claimed) to become a private tutor to Crown Prince Akihito, the heir apparent to the Chrysanthemum Throne.[1]: As part of her teaching program, she arranged for closely supervised occasions when four Western teen-aged boys in Tokyo would get together to help the crown prince practice English conversation.[3]
In addition to teaching English-language skills, Vining introduced the children of the Imperial Household, Prince Hitachi and the Princesses Kazuko, Atsuko, and Takako, to Western values and culture. She also lectured at Gakushuin University and at Tsuda College. For her work, she was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure, third class, shortly before her return to the United States in 1950.
Later life[edit]
After her return to the United States, Vining wrote a book about her experiences in Japan in Windows for the Crown Prince, which appeared in 1952. Vining went on to write over 60 fiction and non-fiction books in her lifetime. She also worked on the Board of Trustees of Bryn Mawr, as vice-president from 1952 to 1971 and was vice-chairwoman of the Board of Directors at the same time. In 1954 Vining received the Women's National Book Association Skinner Award,[1]:1000 for "meritorious work" in her special field".[4] She received an honorary Doctorate of Literature from Wilmington College (Ohio) in 1962.

Why are children offered little dimension in representations? What is the significance of representing the child either as innocent or evil – to both the originating discourse and in a wider context? Is such polarization detrimental to our understanding of what it means to be a child and how we respond to real children? • A devil, demon, monster, wicked/sinful We invite abstracts of 250-300 words for 20 minute (previously unpublished) papers, sent in Word format to email@example.com by Friday 31st August 2012 with the "subject" of the email as 'Devils and Dolls abstract'. Please ensure your abstract appears in the following format: All abstracts will be acknowledged by email receipt, and you should therefore receive an acknowledgement within 5 working days. Once the deadline has passed, a panel will review the abstracts anonymously and a draft conference plan will be constructed. We will reply to all submissions to offer both a decision and some feedback. If your paper is not selected at this time, we hope you are still able to attend the conference and contribute to the discussion.

Guitar Hero Controller Hacked for the Commodore 64
by Peter Kirn
Devotees of the SID sound chip in the Commodore 64 will love this. A new project called Shredz64 promises to create a working version of Guitar Hero with the C64′s vintage sounds, and will unlock the ability to use other PS2 controllers, as well. We've seen various hardware hacks to provide better I/O and simple onboard controls to make the C64 more fun as an instrument/synth; the next frontier seems to be adding more elaborate external hardware.
Being the C64, you get funny moments like this: "Some obstacles to be worked through include presentation of music given the 3 voice nature of the 6581 and 8580." Indeed. The graphics are a bit more primitive, as well (ahem). But Guitar Hero with SID files? Priceless.
Just don't let Timbaland anywhere near this.

Canadian guitarist Glen Drover (MEGADETH, KING DIAMOND, TESTAMENT, EIDOLON) was interviewed on the "Metal Attack MTL" radio show on February 8 at Heavy MTL's "Battle Of The Bands" event in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where Drover was one of the judges. You can now watch the chat below.
When asked if his desire to spend time more time with his family was the reason he left MEGADETH in 2007, Drover said, "No, not necessarily. I mean, it was part of that, but there was a lot of turmoil going on in the band while I was there, and it wasn't as much fun. See, the first couple of years in MEGADETH, it was a lot of fun — it was a very healthy atmosphere — but towards the end it wasn't, and I think that kind of magnified the fact that I didn't wanna be a part of that kind of destructive kind of atmosphere, and I wanted to be at home with my family and then stage the next plan of attack for the next project, whatever that may be." Drover was replaced in MEGADETH by Chris Broderick, who has previously played with NEVERMORE and JAG PANZER. Glen's debut solo album, "Metalusion", was released in April 2011 via Magna Carta Records. On September 25, 2011, Drover took part in a historic performance that was webcast worldwide as part of the "Live At Metalworks" series from Mississauga, Canada. Glen's "Live At Metalworks" performance will be released as a DVD in June via Magna Carta.Guitarist GLEN DROVER Says He Left MEGADETH To Escape 'Destructive Atmosphere'

The owner of a company that that takes "fracking" wastes from drilling companies was charged in
federal court today with deliberately dumping thousands of gallons of the toxic mixture into a
Youngstown stream.
Ben Lupo, 62, owner of Hardrock Excavating, appeared in U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Ohio where he was charged with violating the Clean Water Act.
Oil and gas drillers rely on fracking, a process in which millions of gallons of water, sand
and chemicals are pumped underground to shatter shale and free trapped gas.
Some of the fracking fluid bubbles back up, along with saltwater trapped underground for
millions of years. The brine contains spent fracking chemicals, high concentrations of salt and
naturally occurring metals and radium.
Radioactivity can build up in "muds," lubricants used to help in the drilling process, as
well as in other materials that might be reused during drilling.
The charge stems from a Jan. 31 incident in which state officials witnessed workers dumping
fracking wastes into a storm drain from a storage tank at Lupo's business.
Officials with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said Lupo acknowledged that evening
that he told employees to drain the storage tanks into the storm sewer six times over the previous
six months.
The drain leads to an unnamed stream and the Mahoning River.
Lupo pleaded not guilty, according to Dan Tierney, a spokesman for the Attorney General's
The maximum penalty for a Clean Water Act violation includes three years in prison and a
$250,000 fine.
